YENATHI NAIDU Vs. KUJJALIGAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THERE were two points for determination viz., (1) whether the bond was executed and if so (2) whether there was consideration for it. The only decision recorded is "Finding Negative." It is impossible to say what the decision is whether it is that the bond is genuine but there was no consideration or that the bond itself is not proved. The District Munsif's judgment cannot, therefore, be regarded as a judgment in law within the meaning of even paragraph 1 of Section 203, C.P.C.

(2.) THE decree is accordingly reversed and the suit remanded for being disposed of according to law upon the evidence already on record after hearing both parties on a day to be appointed for the purpose. Costs will be costs in the cause.
